Hmmm. He only mentions political issues as the racial dividers. Obamacare, immigration, doing "more to meet people's needs". Were I to look for underlying causes for political disagreement, I'd look to economic disparity, not race. Though one could speculate that whites, having higher average income and family net worth, thus are paying, at the cost of their needs and desires, for programs which "do more to meet people's needs". That's an economic issue, not a race issue.

Those whites that advocate for illegal immigration for white Europeans, but not Hispanics, or a boost in welfare and food stamps for whites, but not blacks or Hispanics, that's a racial decision. But those aren't arguments heard very much. As always the Times miss' the economic forest for the racial trees, if they even see the trees. More likely the leftist racial overlay applied to any issue.

55 percent of whites, an NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll found this year, consider Mr. Obama’s health care law a bad idea, while 59 percent of blacks call it a good idea.

I'm actually surprised support for Obamacare among blacks is only 59%. I figured just tacking the name "Obama" onto anything would guarantee at least 80% approval in the black community...

Do blacks hate Obama’s white half?

47 percent of Blacks are racists against the noble Hispanic.

And who is doing the whispering? New York Times, Washington Post, Network News, etc. All agents of the Democratic Party.

Only the "New York Times Asylum and Home for the Mentally Ill" could find racism in disliking the fustercluk of Obamacare.

In other words, the NYTimes has lost control of the narrative so they are forced to use the Alinsky tactic of last resort, playing the race card.

In their world their policies can never be wrong so the only logical answer must be race.

I’d say race is a HUGE factor...

in Obama’s ability to get away with what he’s doing.

“Whites tend to hold negative views of Obamacare, while blacks tend to like it.”
Because Whites are paying for it, and the others are getting insurance without paying for it.

Does anyone know what is the actual procedure for actually paying for Obamacare? Let’s say a person has signed up for insurance and they miss a couple of payments, actually decided they don’t really want insurance, get buyers remorse. What happens?

We will ONLY enter a “post racial” society when a majority of blacks vote for a white conservative over a black liberal. Until that time, no number of whites voting for a liberal black will prove anything. Ever.

"meet people's needs"

That one, plus "social justice" "a country that looks like America" "speaking truth to power" are a number of leftist clichés that in reality mean absolutely nothing. Meet people's needs? I need a million dollar vacation home and a fleet of high end automobiles to cavort around. Are they going to meet my needs? I doubt it.

When all else fails, and their ManBoy is going down in flames, the NYT gets out the Race Drum and beats it as loudly as possible.

The most vile, putrid, KKK racist, neo-Nazi publication in America is the New York Times.

The NYT is run by left-wing commie JINOs who hate Israel. It’s time to start telling the truth here on FR, and I say that as an independent contractor who has worked for a number of Israeli high-tech companies. We took on the Soros/BDS/ Palestinian/EU fascists who tried to boycott Israeli exports and kicked their Nazi asses.
